IS there a tutorial on how to make custom taxi waypoints?

[SAG]

In the editor i can only import taxi paths for the lapino map, where could i get these or learn how to make them myself? (if possible) 

 

P.S: i couldn't find anything after searching this section of the forum

You need to place an airfield MCU, make it a linked entity, assign a coalition to it, and click ' add chart'.

Then 'edit chart'

See "Make a Plane Taxi to and From a Runway" on pg. 63 of the editor manual.

How can this be? It is amazing what one can actually find in the editor manual.

Thanks for all the replies, i have a problem where the AI plane just takes off after startup, instead of following the taxi chart waypoints i set for the airfield, any ideas?

 

I create an airfield with a taxi chart, then i link it to the ai plane.

 

I create a on start trigger linked to the take off command and then link the take off command to the ai plane. what am i doing wrong? i think ive done all the steps correctly and the manual seems a bit confusing to me :/

Ensure that the airfield object is set to the country of the AI plane.

 

Can you be more specific re. the confusion (what step, screenshot, etc. and what's confusing)? This can help me improve the manual.

Update: I noted some problems with steps 5 to 7. They should include the need to trigger the takeoff command somehow (e.g., mission begin --> 2s timer --> takeoff) and the need for the last waypoint on the route to trigger the land command.

Thanks Jim Tim! And thanks for the awesome manual! 

 

No im just having trouble having the Control tower Launch flares when a plane moves through a Trigger.

 

Feel free not to answer though. i already feel like the spoiled child who cant figure things out on his own
